PLC Programming Example – Pick and Place - Video

This video will show you the sequence of operation and the testing of the final project.
We will apply the five steps to PLC program development to a pick and place robot example. The example will use a BRX PLC communicating to Factory IO (3D Software Simulator). Developing the PLC program is a process that can be clearly defined. In our series on the five steps to PLC program development we have done some similar practical examples.

Here is a review of the steps:
1.Define the task
2.Define the inputs and outputs
3.Develop a logical sequence of operation
4.Develop the PLC program
5.Test the program

hi. nice video. may i know at device configuration, which option do you selet to communicate your PLC with Factory IO via ethernet?

What type of education would you need to get a job doing this? would you be an automation engineer?

The Do-More Designer Software also comes with a simulator. You could also use the simulator in this application to communicate Modbus TCP to the Factory IO scene. The software can be downloaded free of charge at the following location:
A full version of Factory IO can be downloaded for a 30 day trial at the following location:
